Disadvantages of Having Tesla Car in Canada!
Tesla on Roads: It would be fair to lower our great expectations for Tesla in Canada a little in the price considering, but some of few things stand out as missteps for Tesla in terms of quality in Canada. The rear bench seat is mounted too low makes it more suited for the third-row but it makes seating in the rear in Tesla very hard and quite uncomfortable due to a lack of thigh support. The automated driving aids in a Tesla are remarkably helpful, safe and effective when paired with an attentive, responsible driver to assure the use but day to day technology changes makes it less useful. I’ve learned what road conditions are ideal for autopilot. Get complacent or cocky, however, and you put yourself at risk.
Less Stock availability: There is also a lot of discussion about production problems and supply issues with Tesla in Canada that makes customers wait longer than expected for delivery of their vehicles. The base model Tesla has been delayed multiple times.
Longer trips: Longer trips are more time consuming as you need to stop and charge during the different phases of your journey. You will want to choose the best model which suits your availability of travel. This also can be offset to a point by simply planning to stop earlier where chargers are available, especially the quick chargers when you need to stop for eat, use the restroom. If you like to take long trips you will want some form of quick charging in your car and Tesla may not fits for it.
Some Destinations are out of Reach: We were forced to leave our Tesla behind when planning a trip to Northwest Territories, Quebec, Saskatchewan and Yukon. These are the few states without superchargers. That said, we’ve taken it all over the Alberta, British Columbia and Manitoba, with issue of low temperature during the winters.
Poor trip plans: A trip of 3 hour turned into 10 hour, when people failed to follow the car’s recommended route due to road conditions and other reasons the it may be worst time killer in travelling on Tesla in Canada, while skipping a key supercharger stop to make it happens . The fact when it fails for the wind, sleet, plummeting temperatures, and the need for heat in cold areas, wipers and lights didn’t help Tesla much.
Cost: If you are planning to buy new Tesla car in Canada then it can often be more expensive than their gas counterparts costs, but you can thanks to things like the Chevrolet Bolt and Tesla Model 3 which is now changing rapidly and they are getting ranges that are closer to what gas powered vehicles can have cost of gases. The Initial cost is somehow high with tax and fees alone amounted to almost $10k for a new Tesla in Canada. While if you can obviously find cheaper/used Tesla’s in Canada, then it would also be great idea.
